Of course, Gao Jingshi was not clear about the meeting of chieftains in Longtan Town. He had been in Liuzhou for several days and now he was about to start doing business. There were many business matters for patrolling the censor, one of which was to investigate whether local officials had committed "treachery".
"Corruption, corruption, and government corruption harming the people." There are various methods of investigation, but a very important one is that the patrol censor should go deep into the people and seek verification on the spot. It is not only necessary to understand the local customs, but also to understand the official voice of local officials.
Therefore, in accordance with the historical requirements and regulations for patrolling censors, Gao pragmatic planned to pay a private visit in Liuzhou Fucheng today to see how these officials in Liuzhou Fucheng have a good reputation among the people, so that they can resume their duties when they return to the capital next year.
It was easy to conduct a private visit incognito. Gao Pingshi's visit to Liuzhou was grand enough that no ordinary people met him, and he was young enough, so he probably did not fit the image of a high official in the minds of ordinary people.
Gao Zhang found a set of his own clothes, and after Gao Jingshi put them on, he looked like an ordinary young scholar. Except that he was a little taller, everything else was pretty much the same.
Originally, Gao Jingshi thought that he and Cao Ke could do this private visit incognito, because Gao Zhang was a bit too boring, and his every move was too rigid. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that he was either from the military or a servant of a prominent family.
However, Gao Zhang firmly refused. In the end, Gao Jingshi could only order him to follow him quietly, and said, "Unless I am going to die soon, you must not show up."
Gao Zhang agreed and went down to prepare himself. Gao Jingshi was too lazy to care about him and turned to Cao Ke: "Do you remember your identity?"
Cao Ke was quite excited, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "A book boy acting as a book boy is so similar. No one can see anything wrong. Don't worry, sir."
Unexpectedly, Gao Pangshi immediately glared at him: "You said that no one could tell anything was wrong, but it's wrong of you to say it. Now I am just a young scholar who came to Guangxi from Henan to join Shishu. Why am I called a master?"
"Yes, yes, the young master has taught me a lesson."
"Farewell young master, everyone has come to join Uncle Shi. It's obvious that the family is in decline, so let's call him young master."
Cao Ke had no choice but to agree.
After a while, Gao Zhang came back. Gao Qinggong walked around in front of him and asked: "You have been trained overnight, so you should have some experience in disguise, right? See if there are any flaws in me?"
Gao Zhang looked at it seriously for a few times, shook his head and said: "You don't look like a scholar, at least you are a scholar."
Gao Pingshi was startled, took a look at his clothes, and asked doubtfully: "Really, where is the trick?"
Gao Zhang shook his head and said: "It's not about the appearance, but the bearing. You are too confident. Although the students are respected locally, there is obviously a confidence in your eyes that far exceeds that of the students, although the common people may not have seen it.
I have never been a high-ranking official, but I have always seen some scholars. How can there be any scholar who is as considerate as you are?"
Gao pragmatic laughed and scolded: "Don't use words indiscriminately, how can I care about Zixiong?" However, he still changed his demeanor slightly, imagining that he was about to see Queen Mother Li, and immediately became a lot more cautious.
.
Gao Zhang's eyes lit up and he praised: "It's like this now. I have some confidence, but more importantly I am cautious."
Gao Pragmatic laughed: "Okay, okay, it seems that your vision is indeed good. Thank you for your advice."
Gao Zhang was startled and said he didn't dare.
Gao pragmatic waved to Cao Ke and said, "Prepare a few more broken silver and some copper coins for me, and we'll set off right now."
After all, Liuzhou Prefecture is an important town in Guizhong. Gao Pragmatic felt that safety was guaranteed. Taking Cao Ke, who had changed into a coarse cloth, the two of them quietly slipped out of the Procuratorate. The guard at this door had long been taken care of by Gao Zhang.
Of course, I pretended not to see it. When I walked out of the second line of guard soldiers, the guards didn't know Gao Pragmatic and Cao Ke. Anyway, they were given instructions to be strict in entering and wide in exit, so they didn't bother to pay attention.
When he got to the street, Gao Qingshi was a little confused, because he had been a homebody for these years, and rarely went out, so he didn't know where to go.
Cao Ke saw Gao Pragmatic's embarrassment and suppressed a smile and said: "Master, in your capacity, you usually have the following options when going out on the street in broad daylight: first, to buy the Four Treasures of the Study or various models of current affairs; second,
The first is to visit a brothel; the third is to eat and drink; the fourth is to go to a cloth shop or a clothing store to buy clothes; the fifth is to go to the servant market to buy people; the sixth is..."
Gao pragmatic had already made up his mind and said: "Then let's go to the clothing store to buy clothes. Gao Zhang is very majestic. I think his clothes are a little too loose."
Cao Ke slowly entered the role at this time and responded quickly, saying: "I have already asked, I want to go to Bei City to buy clothes. Although I don't know the way specifically, I just walk all the way north and ask for directions when I get to a similar place.
.”
Gao Pragmatic didn't have much experience, so he arranged whatever he wanted, and the two of them, one master and one servant, went to Bei City happily.
However, the weather did not go as planned. The changeable climate in the south gave them a glimpse of what it means to be in the end of summer. The child's face was bright and sunny when he came out, but after just one stick of incense, the sky turned dark.
When we came down, Gao Pangshi was walking in the dark road, and the drizzle started to fall from the sky.
Gao Pangshi and Cao Ke looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and had no choice but to temporarily put off their plans to buy clothes at a clothing store. They looked around, picked a restaurant that looked the most spacious and ran in to take shelter from the rain.
Gao Pragmatic is dressed as a scholar. Although his clothes are not luxurious, they are not bad. He can be regarded as a handsome young man in his clothes. Even the little boy behind him looks quite good and clean.
Yes, you can tell he is a good customer at first glance.
The waiter's eyes lit up and he hurriedly came to greet him, saying: "Two distinguished guests, would you like to have a meal?"
Gao pragmatically estimated the time and found that it was only half an hour before lunch. It didn't matter if he ate earlier. Maybe the weather would clear up after the meal?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So he smiled and said: "Then let's have a meal."
The waiter welcomed them to a place by the window with a smile on his face, and introduced: "Although this place is by the window, it has the wind at its back, and it will never rain. What dishes would you like? I heard your accents.
Like a local, let me introduce to you two. Our store has roast goose, braised seven-inch, goose chin, dry pot dog meat, rattan pepper roll powder, taro cake, stuffed tofu, dew glutinous rice balls, stuffed mushrooms, and bean curd meat.
Hearing this, Gao Pingshi quickly stopped him and said: "Stay here, stay here, just have two meat, two vegetables and one soup, no internal organs."
The waiter smiled and said: "Okay - dry pot dog meat, white-cut chicken, stuffed mushrooms, stuffed tofu, and boiled river fish soup!" After saying that, he asked again: "Sir, would you like some wine?"
"No, that's all."
The waiter had just left, and Gao Qingshi breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "The shopkeeper is here, hurry up and get rid of all the irrelevant people, the Cen family..."
Before the man finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted, and a cold voice said: "There is no need to chase people away, just come out in a private room."
Gao Pangshi and Cao Ke were sitting by the window. They subconsciously followed the sound and saw seven or eight big men standing on the left and right in front of the door with their chests and belly protruding. A young man in white with a handsome face walked away elegantly holding a gold-painted black bone fan.
Come in.
Gao Pangshi was still thinking about the word "Cen family" that he had just interrupted, when he heard Cao Ke, who was across the table, said in great surprise: "Hey, young master, I didn't expect that there are actually more elegant scholars than you in Liuzhou Mansion.
?”
Gao Pinggong said sincerely: I don't rely on my face to make a living.
Then he glared at Cao Ke and warned: "This man is not simple, please stop talking."
Cao Ke just thought he was annoyed that the young man in white was so handsome, so he suppressed a smile and nodded.
Unexpectedly, the young man in white just walked into the restaurant. He glanced around subconsciously and saw Gao Pangshi and Cao Ke who were talking secretly. He frowned slightly, looked them over, and fixed his eyes on Gao Pragmatic.
